Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trands.
How many of them are there? Six? Courtesy of super
producer Brian. Um. Yeah, I'm Jack and I'm thrilled to
be joined by a super producer back a robot. What's happening?
You know? It's chilly here in New York City. It's
(00:22):
gonna snow apparently, but it's not sticking. It's just windy
and cold night. That's the worst kind. Please give me
something the show for it. Yeah. If you're gonna snow,
fucking snow, have us people to get a picture new rules?
Um yeah, all right? Uh should we tell the people
(00:44):
what's trending? Let's do it. I think we must. I
think we must. Of course, one that I brought to
you and had to explain to you, iconic stylist to
the stars, law Roach has announced his retirement. Question mark
question mark question mark question mark. Well, I you know
(01:08):
I'll take it, Jack, even though you you graciously explained this,
So I explained it to you, So why don't you
just I want to see how well you learned it?
So yeah, law Road, status of the stars, famously on
that HBO Max legendary, but also I think most famous
for styling Zendeia, but also Meg the Stallion, Hunter, Schaeffer,
are In a Grande, Kerry Washington, Selene Diant, Banca Chopra,
(01:31):
Lindsay Lohan, and many more. He announced his retirement over
Instagram over the politics and quotes, lies and false narratives
of the industry. People think it's has so many to
do with what happened at the Louis Vuitton show this
past week, but unclear what I went down, but that
was the area. Of course. I looked at the video
(01:51):
or I was trying to find the video, couldn't find
anything about it. I just hearing rumors about this, like
snub at the Louis Vuitton show, like Zendea was sitting
front who's now a brand rep for Louis Utan and
like had to pull up a chair to have law
Roads sit with her front row. So I'm not sure
what's going on there, but I would say I'm very
(02:11):
sad to see him go in the industry. I think
he's really broken barriers into what is the beauty standard
of Hollywood. I think he's really been a you know,
fashion architect, as he likes to describe himself. But he's
also just like I think a stylist that really understands
the lexicon and history of fashion. He really loves to
(02:31):
bring back vintage looks. He's really attuned to what the
person he's styling wants, but also the historical moment that
they're participating in. And just I don't know, he makes art.
I like, look at some of these red carpet looks
and they are you know, they're pretty women in pretty dresses.
(02:52):
But when law Road style somebody, it is truly art.
So I will be sad to see if he really
is officially retiring. It seems like the comments everyone is like,
what are you talking about? Like all his select friends
are like no, no, no, notably Naomi Campbell's like, Apps,
we're not doing this. So hopefully Naomi can bring him back.
I will be really sad to see him go. I
hope that means he'll still be on another season A Legendary.
(03:13):
I love Legendary and for the people so they know
what is legendary. Legendary is a show on HBO Max
like the famous show Ryan Murphy's Pose. It is that
except competition show. Yeah, like a reality competition show. Law
Roach is a judge. K Palmer has been a judge.
Mag Stallion's been a judge. They have a couple of
famous ball queens of the era as judges, so definitely
(03:38):
a fun show. It's bringing ball to I think the
popular culture. If you're not a part of the queer community,
you probably don't know too much about ballroom culture. But
it's really fascinating, interesting, amazing art and you should look
at it. But I also want to say, last thing,
goa check out Magda Stallions look from the Vanity Fair
party at the Oscars. It was his law Roach's latest
(03:58):
styling choice and it was perfection. Truly. I will say
I looked through you know this is this is not
necessarily the thing that I am the most up on.
I looked through some iconic looks created by celeb stylist
law Roach from an outlet, journalistic institution BuzzFeed dot com
(04:20):
and uh known theirs. The work is great, the like
I've very very cool iconic looks that you know, I
don't always get fashion. Fashion doesn't always get me um,
but law Roach and I yes, mutual appreciation. He's a
big fan of mine. Also love that law Roach like
(04:43):
the out loud sounds like it's gonna be French. But
it's just the word law and the word roach law.
Roach Scream six has arrived, dropped on all of our
asses this past weekend and brooke the records for the
screen franchise. So I was curious to see what was
(05:05):
going to happen here because in the trailer it broke
some age old slasher movie conventions, some things that to
me seemed like lots like the slasher movie villain usually
isn't pulling a gun out like I've always thought it
was funny to like just imagine Jason Vorhees just holding
(05:28):
a handgun a revolver, right, I never really thought about
that they don't really hold like automatic weapons and the
other thing that has always been confusing to me. And
I think also it's very interesting to try and puzzle
out why this is the case, because so the majority
of the film going population lives in cities for the
(05:49):
most part, like that just because of the majority of
populations in the United States, I think live in cities,
or at least a huge sizeable chunk. Now I'm getting
nervous that I have that wrong, but I think, yeah,
like that's who you're trying to reach generally with your
film are those cosmopolitan young people, and yet the movies
(06:11):
are never set in cities, and horror movies set in
cities generally like don't do that well, Like my explanation
is always like there's just something spooky about the woods
or even the suburbs. They'll let you do the suburbs,
but it just like doesn't translate to the city generally.
But Scream six seems to have gone city and both
(06:34):
of those conventions may not hold up anymore for this
new generation because in the trailer he pulls a shotgun
out and also it happens on a New York subway,
like there's a scene on a New York subway train.
So interested to watch this one. Also, one of the
reviews for the film made the claim that the Scream
(06:58):
franchise is like the Fast and the Furious franchise, that
they've gotten better each installment, which is shocking to me.
I stopped it too. I assume that they got worse
like other horror films, So the idea that they've only
gotten better since Scream two, I'm intrigued and people people
(07:18):
seem to really be enjoying this one. The reviews are solid.
The bo is boffo. So I got to hand it
to the folks that scream they're they're really doing it.
I mean, I definitely want to see it. I'm a
Jenny or take a fan. I definitely feel like watching
this trailer looked really good. I have not seen I
(07:41):
think the rest of the screams are might I have
seen them in passing. I definitely have seen all of
the scary movies, like I saw. Scary movie was introduced
in my life before Scream was so yeah. I don't know,
but I'm intrigued. I heard it was good. I had
Frank go see it this morning. My partner saw it
on Saturday. He really liked it. He was like, I
(08:02):
gotta go watch screm five now. So and he's also
a big, fast and Furious fan, so maybe there's a
correlation there. Interesting anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing that
and happy as a movie go or someone who one
of my favorite things to do in the world is
to go and sit in a movie theater and watch
(08:23):
a movie. I am happy anytime movies are doing well
at the box office too. Yes, Ranch ice cream there. So.
There is a company called Van Lewen. It is spelled
Van Leeuwin l e e u w e n. But
I've been told very forcefully that it's van Lewin and
(08:45):
not van Leewin. Like I pronounce yes, but they want
you to pronounce it. They have that conversation built into
their name. They're like, we're going to spell it so
that not only do you are you intimidated by us
like seeming a little like avant garde with our ice
cream flavors, but someone is correcting you when you try
(09:06):
and sear name, so they feel worse about yourself. It's giving,
it is giving French, and it is spelling French as
opposed to law roach um. So Van Lewin has been
making these challenging flavors. They've made gray pupan, they have
(09:26):
made pizza flavored ice cream, they have made mac and cheese,
and now they're dropping the Hidden Valley Ranch on us
and since disrespectful at this point. So I have to
suspect because you you said that you go to the store.
I do. They have them in New York. They're a
(09:48):
big chain in New York. There's a few in the
Brooklyn area where I live. I love the Marionberry ice cream.
If I'm at a corner store and they have than luin.
I'm checking for the Earl Gray Tea. Oh, that's such
a good flavor. And the Marion Barry those are the
two I rotate between. Oh and also the honeycomb. Those
(10:10):
are the three OR rotate between. But I never see
these crazy flavors, not even in store. So Earl Gray Tea,
that sounds very subtle to me. It's like a it's
it's got the really strong hint of the Earl Gray
tea flavor, but it's like kind of like if you
were to have um, a London fog latte, like an
(10:30):
Earl Tea latte. It's got that creaminess but like subtle
tea flavor, and it almost is like refreshing because of
the way the tea hits like almost like a mint.
Isn't in the feeling, not in the taste. So that's
not for me. That's I'm gonna need a I'm gonna
need chunks of something. You gotta put some tea bags
in there and that are made out of made out
(10:52):
of honeycomb, yeah, or something like that. But anyways, I
suspect that we saw Jenny's do this a couple of
years ago with the everything Bagel ice cream flavor. Yeah,
but that one was they were actually putting that out.
I have tasted it. It does taste good because it's
cream cheese flavored and very sweet, with a little bit
of the everything Bagel seasoning in there to kind of,
(11:15):
you know, confuse the senses a little bit. But this
sounds like they'd make one batch of each of these. Yeah,
put out the press release. Everybody gobbles it up because
there are a bunch of shows like this out there
that are just suckers and nobody has to taste it
and they don't even need to make it taste good
would be much. Do you think it's like a brand
(11:36):
partnership vibe? I mean the Hidden Valley is involved. Yeah,
like because it was kraftmac and Cheese. So is it
like these brands are like, Okay, we know Van Luen
is very famous and also very good at making ice cream.
What if we, you know, increase our brand chair by
doing a brand collaboration with Van Luin? Yeah, I mean
(11:59):
that's what it are. Getting the brands to collaborate, then
I'm guessing they have to make it taste good, and
so my theory is shot and I'm happy to be
wrong about that. I would love it. If somebody ice
cream is amazing, I would be down with that as
opposed to mac and cheese pizza. Pizza, for some reason,
sounds like the worst one to make. Yeah, Like, just
(12:22):
I don't I'm not a huge fan of cold pizza.
I know you can eat it, but why would you
when Okay, see I do. I know that I love
a cold pizza, But I'm just such a pizza sa
that I'll eat pizza like any form get on the
counter for a day, I'll eat it like. If it's
in the fridge, I'll eat it. If it's warmed up,
I'll eat it like I will eat pizza any So,
(12:43):
I don't know. It just reminds me of frozen pizza.
Like eating frozen pizza that's doing that. Yeah, when I'm
fending for myself on the weekend, I'll eat a frozen
pizza without cooking it. But that's not something I'm proud of.
Do you think it tastes like a lunchable? Well, I've
(13:04):
never tasted the pizza lunchables, so you know, because this
very because of this very thing, I've seen pizza made
and I'm like, that doesn't look good. Until it comes
out of the oven. I guess if it tastes like
a lunchable, I'd eat it because I did eat those
many unable Yeah, stay tuned for tomorrow's episode where we
(13:26):
talk about how lunchables are coming to school cafeterias starting
next school year. All right, let's take a quick break.
We do have a new Little Mermaid trailer to talk about. Um,
a couple other things will be right back, and we're back,
(13:50):
and new Little Mermaid trailer is out. It's dark when
we're underwater. They were like, the thing that we were
going to make realistic is you can't see shit. Have
you ever been to the bottom of the ocean? Very dark? Um,
So we're gonna we're gonna stick with that. Um. And
then the parts that aren't at the bottom of the
ocean not as dark. So they're just like, wait, we're
(14:14):
choosing to not suspend disbelief around this one issue Sebastian.
We finally get to see Sebastian speak. Um, it's it's
not that there's nothing has been done to assuage my
nervousness about how this character is going to come off. Yeah,
they gave you just a very brief moment of Sebastian
(14:37):
and a um pelican. Is that is that the bird
it was? I'm not sure what. Yeah, seabird of some
sort a sea bird of sorts. We do believe that
they have kind of tried to learn from the past
few movies of how do we animate uh animals to
(14:57):
make them look realistic but also talk like humans, And
I think they are closer than ever with this trailer.
It felt like they looked like animals, but they looked
like animals I could emote, and that's you know why.
I felt like the bird looked like it emoted, is
giving some attitude. Sebastian seemed like they were cutting around.
(15:20):
They were not seeing a lot of like close up
shots of them, like reaction shots where they get emotional. Um.
They seem to be compensating for Sebastian's lack of facial
emotion with a over the top voice. That is, of course,
which we are worried about, but we'll just have to
(15:43):
see it to believe it when it comes out. I
felt like nails some McCarthey looked really great as Ursula
um Hallie Bailey looked incredible. I felt like she was
looking really great and seeming like she was going to
nail this role. Jabier Barden as Kim Triton. Sure, let's
do it fun and we both agree. Prince Eric is
(16:04):
ugly not okay, I did not say that. I said
he does not look enough like Pete Sampras, which is mine.
For some reason, I've always associated Eric with Pete Sampress
because they were famous, they were at their peak at
the same time, and I just feel like he should
look more like Pete Sampres. But yeah, he doesn't. He's not.
I don't enough. I'm sorry. It does feel like there
(16:27):
needed to be a larger hotness quotient. He's not giving
prince you know what I'm saying. He's giving like youth,
like a young adult, but he's not. Yeah, we're going
to find out this person is like fourteen years old him.
I know, I'm gonna feel really gross that I ever
even compared to be not. I'm like, no, no, no,
(16:47):
don't cancel me. Please. I know Hollie Bailey's over a team.
Please don't make it a weird h but I just
think there are like very regal, like in theory. If
you're gonna be a Disney prince, like there's a regalness
to it, and he's just not giving regal you know. Yes,
he seems spunky, seems like a young kid. You're like, okay, yeah,
he seems like he like could be played by Tom Holland.
(17:09):
Oh yeah, not worth giving up your tail four okay
and your voice? Yes, probably the originally animated Prince Eric
also not worth that. But finally, Google has announced an
AI feature in Gmail, Google Docs, and more to rival Microsoft.
(17:29):
Um is, there's named bard is that what they're calling
their's or by the wayside. Uh so, I don't know
Clippy it'll do. It will be a paper clip that
pops onto your the side of your Maybe I'll switch
back to Microsoft. That's the case, I need Clippi's help. Yeah,
but it's uh yeah. I have experimented with chet GPT,
(17:53):
and by that I mean asking it five questions and
apparently it's all about how smart you are at interacting
with the chat GPT, and I am not smart at
interacting with chat GPT. So send me some queries that
I should be hitting chat GPT with. That'll provide good reads.
But yeah, it seems like in our team chat here
(18:17):
that I was the only one with the existential dread
of what it means to be ruled by AI. But
you know, I would love everyone to prove me wrong.
I just think in terms of the future of art
and reading and writing, I don't like chat GPT. I'm
worried that we're going to become more literate. People aren't
going to write anymore, and I don't like it. Probably true, probably, Yeah, Like,
(18:42):
write me a dating profile. Let me see whatever journalism degree. Okay,
you know, I don't know, but I just don't like that.
I worked really hard on that degree and now people
can just like input papers in chat GPT. Write me
a dating profile. I think that's the only useful way
to use it, to do the dating profile. Okay, and
(19:03):
then they wrote a dating profile for themselves. Hi, I'm
chat GPT and I'm here to tell you a little
bit about myself. This is not gonna work, but anyways,
I'm not as nervous as I was one that one
person was like it tried to get me to kill
my wife and leave my wife for her. So yeah, well, becau.
(19:27):
It's been a pleasure having you as always. Where can
people find you? Follow you? You can find me and
follow me at x B eccs Ramos on all platforms
about mil Mundos and bush Trick every other Saturday, all right.
You can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore O'Brien.
That's gonna do it for us this afternoon, back tomorrow
with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
(19:48):
be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get
the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we'll
talk to you all tomorrow. E peop

not for me. That's I'm gonna need a I'm gonna
need chunks of something. You gotta put some tea bags
in there and that are made out of made out
(10:52):
of honeycomb, yeah, or something like that. But anyways, I
suspect that we saw Jenny's do this a couple of
years ago with the everything Bagel ice cream flavor. Yeah,
but that one was they were actually putting that out.
I have tasted it. It does taste good because it's
cream cheese flavored and very sweet, with a little bit
of the everything Bagel seasoning in there to kind of,
(11:15):
you know, confuse the senses a little bit. But this
sounds like they'd make one batch of each of these. Yeah,
put out the press release. Everybody gobbles it up because
there are a bunch of shows like this out there
that are just suckers and nobody has to taste it
and they don't even need to make it taste good
would be much. Do you think it's like a brand
(11:36):
partnership vibe? I mean the Hidden Valley is involved. Yeah,
like because it was kraftmac and Cheese. So is it
like these brands are like, Okay, we know Van Luen
is very famous and also very good at making ice cream.
What if we, you know, increase our brand chair by
doing a brand collaboration with Van Luin? Yeah, I mean
(11:59):
that's what it are. Getting the brands to collaborate, then
I'm guessing they have to make it taste good, and
so my theory is shot and I'm happy to be
wrong about that. I would love it. If somebody ice
cream is amazing, I would be down with that as
opposed to mac and cheese pizza. Pizza, for some reason,
sounds like the worst one to make. Yeah, Like, just
(12:22):
I don't I'm not a huge fan of cold pizza.
I know you can eat it, but why would you
when Okay, see I do. I know that I love
a cold pizza, But I'm just such a pizza sa
that I'll eat pizza like any form get on the
counter for a day, I'll eat it like. If it's
in the fridge, I'll eat it. If it's warmed up,
I'll eat it like I will eat pizza any So,
(12:43):
I don't know. It just reminds me of frozen pizza.
Like eating frozen pizza that's doing that. Yeah, when I'm
fending for myself on the weekend, I'll eat a frozen
pizza without cooking it. But that's not something I'm proud of.
Do you think it tastes like a lunchable? Well, I've
(13:04):
never tasted the pizza lunchables, so you know, because this
very because of this very thing, I've seen pizza made
and I'm like, that doesn't look good. Until it comes
out of the oven. I guess if it tastes like
a lunchable, I'd eat it because I did eat those
many unable Yeah, stay tuned for tomorrow's episode where we
(13:26):
talk about how lunchables are coming to school cafeterias starting
next school year. All right, let's take a quick break.
We do have a new Little Mermaid trailer to talk about. Um,
a couple other things will be right back, and we're back,
(13:50):
and new Little Mermaid trailer is out. It's dark when
we're underwater. They were like, the thing that we were
going to make realistic is you can't see shit. Have
you ever been to the bottom of the ocean? Very dark? Um,
So we're gonna we're gonna stick with that. Um. And
then the parts that aren't at the bottom of the
ocean not as dark. So they're just like, wait, we're
(14:14):
choosing to not suspend disbelief around this one issue Sebastian.
We finally get to see Sebastian speak. Um, it's it's
not that there's nothing has been done to assuage my
nervousness about how this character is going to come off. Yeah,
they gave you just a very brief moment of Sebastian
(14:37):
and a um pelican. Is that is that the bird
it was? I'm not sure what. Yeah, seabird of some
sort a sea bird of sorts. We do believe that
they have kind of tried to learn from the past
few movies of how do we animate uh animals to
(14:57):
make them look realistic but also talk like humans, And
I think they are closer than ever with this trailer.
It felt like they looked like animals, but they looked
like animals I could emote, and that's you know why.
I felt like the bird looked like it emoted, is
giving some attitude. Sebastian seemed like they were cutting around.
(15:20):
They were not seeing a lot of like close up
shots of them, like reaction shots where they get emotional. Um.
They seem to be compensating for Sebastian's lack of facial
emotion with a over the top voice. That is, of course,
which we are worried about, but we'll just have to
(15:43):
see it to believe it when it comes out. I
felt like nails some McCarthey looked really great as Ursula
um Hallie Bailey looked incredible. I felt like she was
looking really great and seeming like she was going to
nail this role. Jabier Barden as Kim Triton. Sure, let's
do it fun and we both agree. Prince Eric is
(16:04):
ugly not okay, I did not say that. I said
he does not look enough like Pete Sampras, which is mine.
For some reason, I've always associated Eric with Pete Sampress
because they were famous, they were at their peak at
the same time, and I just feel like he should
look more like Pete Sampres. But yeah, he doesn't. He's not.
I don't enough. I'm sorry. It does feel like there
(16:27):
needed to be a larger hotness quotient. He's not giving
prince you know what I'm saying. He's giving like youth,
like a young adult, but he's not. Yeah, we're going
to find out this person is like fourteen years old him.
I know, I'm gonna feel really gross that I ever
even compared to be not. I'm like, no, no, no,
(16:47):
don't cancel me. Please. I know Hollie Bailey's over a team.
Please don't make it a weird h but I just
think there are like very regal, like in theory. If
you're gonna be a Disney prince, like there's a regalness
to it, and he's just not giving regal you know. Yes,
he seems spunky, seems like a young kid. You're like, okay, yeah,
he seems like he like could be played by Tom Holland.
(17:09):
Oh yeah, not worth giving up your tail four okay
and your voice? Yes, probably the originally animated Prince Eric
also not worth that. But finally, Google has announced an
AI feature in Gmail, Google Docs, and more to rival Microsoft.
(17:29):
Um is, there's named bard is that what they're calling
their's or by the wayside. Uh so, I don't know
Clippy it'll do. It will be a paper clip that
pops onto your the side of your Maybe I'll switch
back to Microsoft. That's the case, I need Clippi's help. Yeah,
but it's uh yeah. I have experimented with chet GPT,
(17:53):
and by that I mean asking it five questions and
apparently it's all about how smart you are at interacting
with the chat GPT, and I am not smart at
interacting with chat GPT. So send me some queries that
I should be hitting chat GPT with. That'll provide good reads.
But yeah, it seems like in our team chat here
(18:17):
that I was the only one with the existential dread
of what it means to be ruled by AI. But
you know, I would love everyone to prove me wrong.
I just think in terms of the future of art
and reading and writing, I don't like chat GPT. I'm
worried that we're going to become more literate. People aren't
going to write anymore, and I don't like it. Probably true, probably, Yeah, Like,
(18:42):
write me a dating profile. Let me see whatever journalism degree. Okay,
you know, I don't know, but I just don't like that.
I worked really hard on that degree and now people
can just like input papers in chat GPT. Write me
a dating profile. I think that's the only useful way
to use it, to do the dating profile. Okay, and
(19:03):
then they wrote a dating profile for themselves. Hi, I'm
chat GPT and I'm here to tell you a little
bit about myself. This is not gonna work, but anyways,
I'm not as nervous as I was one that one
person was like it tried to get me to kill
my wife and leave my wife for her. So yeah, well, becau.
